DETAILS

A very nicely presented, twin keeled example of the very popular Westerly Konsort, well

maintained and extensively equipped with many recent upgrades. Designed by Laurent

Giles, built by Westerly Yachts Ltd. in 1982, 'Moonstone' with her yard number of D336, is

an approx. mid-sequence example of the twin-keeled version of the ever-so-popular

Konsort.

Built by the 'phoenix' company that, from 1981, was seeking to demonstrate their

determination to offer something better than the product of the previous company by use of teak veneered plywood rather than the Sapele of the earlier boats, a generous and fixed table capable of accommodating six diners and - very significantly in the case of the twin keeled boats - fitted with the foam-formed and integrally moulded GRP lateral stiffeners in the keel attachment areas.

Moonstone's keel areas are 'as dry as a bone', the teak veneers in good order and such

features have been enhanced by the professional re-lining of all accommodation areas,

new upholstery, replacement of the primary wiring and electrical switch-gear, replacement of the standing rigging and the re-building of the engine. All this in addition to the replacement of the primary sails in her relatively recent past.

Sails and spars

Bermudan, masthead sloop rig on Selden spars (badged as by Kemp Masts), with a

Rotostay reefing system fitted on the forestay. The standing rigging was renewed in 2016.

Halyards and reefing lines are led aft to banks of stoppers and two single-speed winches at the aft end of the coach roof.

A replacement mainsail (of undetermined age) is by Kemp Sails and is provided with three sets of reefing points and is covered with and supported on the main boom by a bluecoloured acrylic 'Packaway' sail bag and lazyjacks.

The cross-cut roller reefing genoa, also by Kemp Sails, is of undetermined age, but again is a replacement of the original sail.

The Bukh DV20, twin cylinder diesel is the original engine, BUT, and significantly, this

vessel is being sold by a former superintendent of tugs in the naval port of Devonport who is a marine engineer by profession. Consequently this particular Bukh has been very professionally stripped down and re-built and was reinstalled in January 2015.

A lip seal by Volvo Penta is fitted to the inboard end of the stern-tube and three bladed

propeller is fitted on the shaft.

A generous number of engine spares, including engine and gearbox oil are left on board.

The electrical systems have been updated and upgraded, with two 110 A/hr batteries being switched through individual, double pole switches and a bridging link provided.

Charging is by means of an upgraded alternator and 240V AC battery charger.

A 12V DC inverter with a 300W max. output and USB charging output socket is fitted.

History & Construction

Designed by Laurent Giles, built by Westerly Yachts Ltd. in 1982, 'Moonstone' with her yard number of D336 and sail No. KT456, is an approximately. mid-sequence example of the twin-keeled version of the ever-so-popular Konsort.

Built by the 'phoenix' company that was seeking to demonstrate their determination to offer something a little better than the earlier boats by use of teak veneered plywood rather than the Sapele of the earlier boats, a generously sized fixed table capable of accommodating six diners that also offers secure support to crew when moving about and - very significantly - fitted with the foam-formed and integrally moulded GRP lateral stiffeners in the twin keel attachment areas.

Moonstone's keel areas are 'as dry as a bone', the teak veneers are in good order and such features have been enhanced by the professional re-lining of all the accommodation areas, new upholstery throughout, replacement of the primary wiring and electrical switch-gear, replacement of the standing rigging and the re-building of the engine.

All this in addition to the replacement of the primary sails in her relatively recent past.
